If everything were normal...

If everything were normal I would have been half-way through my A-Levels today.
I just found my old exam timetable and today would have been English Lit. You know, it sounds crazy but what I wouldn't give to be able to sit another exam again, it's just so, well, normal.

I always wanted to be an English teacher, but I guess that's out of the question now, isn't it? Mind you, I suppose I could catch myself a couple of zeds and have a bash at teaching them? Haha, wouldn't that be a sight? Chained up infected gnashing and snarling while I try to instruct them in the ways of the pronoun...not much different from how it used to be...

I miss my old friends. I'd miss them in an circumstance, but of course this one's a little more extreme than I was expecting. I keep wondering if any of them are holed up somewhere safe, I can imagine a couple of them, mainly the naturally resourceful and level headed ones having reached safety, but that's only imagining after all.
I had the half-baked notion of e-mailing a few of them this morning, who knows? There could have been good news.
But in the end I decided to knock that particular idea on the head, I'm far more scared of no news than bad news.

Speaking of this morning - I had a little parcel waiting for me on the front step when I woke up.
Now, we've noticed a couple of small groups knocking around, we even recognise some of them, and we suspect that they're looting and indulging in other, less palatable past-times. I'm sure you've made the connection by now that my little present was from one of these lovely fellows and of course it was hardly a box of Milk Tray.
No, it was a disturbingly fresh severed arm rather neatly wrapped up in yesterday's newspaper. That in itself was horrible enough, but the worrying thing was that, upon closer inspection, the arm didn't appear to have been hacked off of a zed which means that either the looters have gone a bit cuckoo (understandable) or they just don't give a s**t (I think the latter is the most likely).

Well, it's my time to keep watch until 2am, so I'd best be making tracks; I'll keep you posted on the looters situation if need be.
